Harry, who was first linked to the model in 2014, reportedly struck up a close friendship with Kendall when they met at The X Factor USA studio while One Direction recorded their performance.

They then enjoyed a Caribbean getaway together in 2016, before being spotted on a dinner date at Ysabel in Los Angeles last September.

At the time a source told People: ‘Harry has always been ‘that guy’ for Kendall.

‘She would love to be in a real relationship with him, but he’s always had issues settling down in the past with her because he has that rock star mentality.’

Harry looked sensational in a bright yellow suit and purple pussybow blouse for the occasion.

The star also caught up with singer Paloma Faith, who looked stunning a sequined floral dress which boasted a white oversized collar.   

It was a momentous night for Harry, who performed an emotional rendition of his ballad Falling, after paying tribute to his ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards on Tuesday night.

The Adore You singer who dated Caroline 2011, sported a black ribbon on his lapel when he arrived at the ceremony which was held at the 02 arena following her death on Saturday.

Caroline tragically took her own life aged 40 after a worried friend who was staying with her went to the shops, leaving the ex-Love Island presenter alone at her London flat. 

Harry performed in a white lace jumpsuit and gloves as he stood in a pool of shallow water as he sang his latest song for the audience, after missing out on the Best Male Solo Artist gong.

Ahead of his performance, Jack Whitehall joked: ‘One Direction – we didn’t give him a hope in hell – plain Jane on the end, but somehow he’s dragged himself out of Niall’s shadow.. Harry Styles is here!’

Meanwhile, Kendall made a surprise appearance at the event, donning a  vibrant green two-piece as she partied with model pal Bella Hadid. 

Her outfit consisted of a long-sleeved top teamed with a pair of figure-hugging cigarette trousers, teamed with bejewelled perspex stilettos. 

Kendall wore her raven tresses sleeked back into a neat ponytail and highlighted her stunning features with a nude pallet of make-up.

She teamed her look with a silver metallic shoulder bag, but otherwise kept her accessories to a minimum and the attention on her eye-catching outfit. 

Meanwhile, Bella, 23, opted for a more casual look as she arrived in a plaid shirt and wide-legged jeans with her best pal.  

Bella layered her look with a leather jacket and added some orange-lens shades and a black satchel bag to her quirky look.

Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy and Billie Eilish led the winners on Tuesday evening in a largely male dominated BRIT Awards shortlist. 

Lewis, 23, claimed two awards from four nominations, triumphing in the categories for New Artist and Song of the Year.

The latter nomination was awarded for hit single Someone You Loved, a track Capaldi insisted was written for his late grandmother – not former girlfriend and current Love Island star Paige Turley. 

Meanwhile Stormzy, 26, picked up the award for Best Male Solo Artist in front of a star-studded audience that included ex-girlfriend Maya Jama.

Accepting his award, the grime star was quick to reference the gender disparity at this year’s ceremony by thanking the team of ‘brilliant women’ who form his management team. 

Rising superstar Billie Eilish, 18, received a nod in the International Female Solo Artist category alongside the likes of Lizzo and Ariana Grande.

And after performing new James Bond soundtrack No Time To Die live for the first time, she claimed her first BRIT Award from former Spice Girl Mel C.  

Despite Billie’s success, only four nominations out of a possible 25 in the categories which are not gender-specific featured women.

There were no female performers included in the shortlists for best group or album awards, although English singer Mabel, 23, was nominated for three awards and ultimately claimed one of the biggest of the night – Best British Female Artist. 

Elsewhere Dave’s excellent Psychodrama beat stiff competition to win Best Album ahead of Stormzy’s new release Heavy Is The Head, Michael Kiwanuka’s self-titled LP Harry Styles’ Fine Line and Lewis Capaldi’s Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent.     

Oxford based band Foals won Best Group after a return to the spotlight with their conceptual, two-part Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost.

The group beat Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Coldplay and D-Block Europe to the honour on Tuesday night.

Taking it global, innovative rapper Tyler, The Creator beat Bruce Springsteen, Burna Boy, Dermot Kennedy and Post Malone in the category for International Male Solo Artist.   

The lack of nominations in for female artists comes despite a major overhaul of the Brits’ voting academy in 2017 to make it more gender balanced and diverse, with hundreds of new members invited to join the pool. 

The awards are voted for by around 1,500 people from across the UK music industry including journalists, record label employees and musicians.

The rising star winner was announced as Celeste late last year, while the producer of the year will be announced at a later date.

The international group and video categories were axed by organisers this year.
